Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'open ends, no fittings' to prevent misclassification as complete discharge lamps under 8539
• Include test reports confirming no absorbent or reflecting layers per chapter note (c) to stay in 7011.10
• Check for lead content if crystal-like; over 24% PbO shifts to lead crystal subheadings
